Modern Rustic Kitchen Decor

A large farmhouse table, butcher block countertops, and vintage-inspired kitchen canisters all point to rustic, and yet this bright, sunny kitchen by deVOL Kitchens comes across as distinctly modern thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, subway tile, and trendy black paint.

You can't get much more country than reclaimed wide-plank floors. But for all its historic charm, this Connecticut farmhouse boasts plenty of modern details and conveniences, including sleek countertops and clean paint colors. Copper cookware is both decorative and functional, not to mention beautifully rustic with its tendency to develop a rich patina.

Perhaps the most foolproof way to instantly modernize a space is with a fresh, white color palette. Shiplap walls and a wooden beam (would you believe it's faux?!) keep this bedroom by Love Grows Wild down to earth.

The Spanish-inspired tile backsplash in this California bungalow's kitchen recalls an earlier era, while the farmhouse sink imparts a rustic feel. But it's modern touches like open shelving and concrete flooring that elevates this kitchen into the present day.
